Beinecke Scholarships are awarded to students of junior standing, who are planning to attend graduate school in the arts, humanities, and social sciences (excluding neuroscience). Each award provides $4,000 for the senior year of undergraduate study as well as an additional $30,000 during graduate school. There are no geographic restrictions on the use of the scholarship. However, scholars are encouraged to begin graduate study as soon as possible following graduation from college, and must utilize all of the funding within five years of completing their undergraduate study. Applicants must have superior academic records and a documented history of having received need-based financial aid in college.  Columbia may submit one nominee to the national competition each year.  Approximately 20 scholarships are awarded nationally.
